[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is in Kindergarten so not an issue this year. He is doing just fine and I'm sure would do OK on tests. However, he does get very nervous for these kinds of things and I hear the schools often try to scare kids to make sure they do well. I find it hard to believe it could be mandatory since it isn't part of their grades for the year, correct? Has anyone ever thought about this? I know parents are protesting and opting out in other states and I was wondering if there was a group here in Maryland that is dong that.[/quote] Life in mcps is a lot of testing. Of course a kindergartener will be nervous but if you are going to keep him in public school, he needs to become comfortable taking standardized tests. As parents, we shouldn't opt out of things just because they are uncomfortable for our kids. How else will they learn to deal? [/quote]
